Here are my thoughts:

They need to cut the number of best picture nominees in half. Some of the pictures listed including the Kids are Alright don’t belong in that category. While it may be excellent Lifetime fare, it is mediocre theatrical melodrama. The Golden Globes pretty much acknowledged it. The movie doesn’t have a single laugh line, but it was in the “Comedy or Musical”, i.e., “Not serious”, category.

Oh and Toy Story 3 in the Best Picture category? For one, it’s already in the Best Animated category which should be enough, and for another, no f%$king sequel to a sequel should ever be in the Best Picture category. Hrumph!

Apart from that, the nominations I was expecting are all there and Natalie Portman will probably get her first Oscar.

Warren and his wife, fellow actor Annette Bening, 52, are also parents to Kathlyn, 18, and Benjamin, 15. Kathlyn (pictured below with bike) is reportedly living as a man named 'Stephen' and is planning to have gender reassignment surgery.

A source reveals that Warren is "heartbroken" and "grief-stricken" over Kathlyn's decision.

Annette still remains very close to Kathlyn. And while Warren loves his daughter and will never turn his back on her. this experience is crushing him."

Here's a family we rarely see! Annette Bening was spotted with her two younger daughters, 13-year-old Isabel (purple top) and Ella, 9, in Los Angeles on Monday (February 15). The trio went shopping together and were seen carrying bags from CVS.

Annette and husband, fellow actor Warren Beatty, are also parents to Kathlyn, 18, and Benjamin, 15.

Annette is currently starring in the play The Female of the Species, costarring David Arquette, at the Geffen Theater. The 51-year-old American Beauty star also has two films set to hit theaters this year: The Kids Are All Right and Mother and Child.
